They said that on purpose because they were jealous of her.
She trembled and called Lu Beichen.
Lu Beichen picked up the call very quickly.
He then noticed that Fu Chenxi did not sound like herself over the phone.
“Beichen, Beichen…”
“What happened?” Compared to the past, Lu Beichen sounded less patient.
Fu Chenxi said, “I’ll look for you now. Where are you?”
“In class.”
Soon, Fu Chenxi arrived at his class.
The class was already dismissed. Lu Beichen was working hard since he needed to submit his paper soon.
Fu Chenxi walked over with a pale face.
As he looked up and saw Fu Chenxi in that state, he felt that something was amiss. “What happened to you?”
Fu Chenxi looked at him. “Tell me… Tell me… You and Jingyan… That night. Sleeping in the same room. Did… anything happen between the both of you?”
Lu Beichen froze.
Fu Chenxi started crying and looked at him with hope. “Yes or no, did anything happen?”
Lu Beichen held onto her. “Listen to me. Chenxi…”
In a moment of confusion, he did not know what to say either.
Fu Chenxi pushed him away. “Tell me, did anything happen?!”
Lu Beichen was pushed aside with his hands down. He then raised his head to look at the other side. He silently bit his lips and nodded his head.
For a moment, Fu Chenxi thought she had seen wrong.
Her eyes widened as she looked at him. “What did you say…. What did you say…”
Lu Beichen was not prepared to lie, so he turned his head back. “That was just a one-off accident… Chenxi. But…”
Looking at Fu Chenxi’s pale face, he said, “But it happened.”
“You… you…”
Fu Chenxi was heartbroken.
She was disgruntled and unconvinced.
She held onto Lu Beichen and shouted, “Is it because she’s the fourth young mistress of the Gu family?”
Lu Beichen frowned. “How can it be?”
“Then why? Is it because she’s pretty?”
“No, of course not!”
“Oh, then is it because you like her?” Fu Chenxi lost more hope as she continued.
“No, it’s not like that!” Lu Beichen wanted to continue, but Fu Chenxi could not bear it anymore. She immediately turned around and ran out.
“Chenxi, Chenxi…”
Lu Beichen wanted to go after her, but he was powerless.
He did not know if he should go after her.
Soon, Fu Chenxi disappeared without a trace again.
The next day, Fu Chenxi was already gone when he went over to her home.
Lu Beichen knew that it was his wrongdoing this time. It was his mistake that made her leave the place with resentment.
At night, Gu Jingyan did not see Lu Beichen.
She had searched for a whole round. She asked Boss Xu, “Where’s Lu Beichen?”
“Oh, it’s all because of that wretched Fu Chenxi who only knows how to harm others. She ran away without a word or sound again.”
Gu Jingyan froze.
Unlike the two who were cursing at Fu Chenxi, she sat there in silence. Halfway through, she stood up and said, “I’m heading out for a while.”
Once she was out, she thought of ways to look for Fu Chenxi.
Making use of the Gu family’s affluence and finding the Gu family’s secret agents to look for Fu Chenxi.
Using this method to search may bring results.
Fu Chenxi was still in B City, and she was at her relative’s.
She went over and saw a shabby, small yard in a village in the city. There were filth and dirt all around.
She stepped on with her sports shoes, and the side she stepped with got dirtied.
Fu Chenxi was sitting at a side, helping her relative to look after some children.
Wearing simple clothes, it seemed like she had lost a good amount of weight after just a few days.
“Chenxi,” she called out, which left Fu Chenxi in shock.
As she looked at Gu Jingyan, Fu Chenxi’s tears started falling immediately.
“You… you… who let you here? Why are you here?” Fu Chenxi stood up right away.
Gu Jingyan looked at her. “Do you already know?”
Fu Chenxi froze for a bit before realizing what Gu Jingyan was talking about.
“Yes, I know. I know about you and Lu Beichen… Both of you got together. Gu Jingyan, how can you be so shameless? You’re my friend, and he’s my boyfriend. How can you do this?”
Gu Jingyan listened to her cursing in silence.
“And now, you still have the cheek to come over here? What are you here for? How can this place be suitable for a precious and mighty young mistress like you? It’s so dirty here, how are you going to step down? We may be poor, but we’re not for you to bully. You already have Lu Beichen, so why are you still here?”
Gu Jingyan raised her eyebrows. She then looked at Fu Chenxi.
“Chenxi, all these got nothing to do with having money or not,” she said.
Fu Chenxi smiled coldly. “Of course, you wouldn’t understand…”
“Yes, I won’t understand because I never cared about money. But I don’t understand why you always have to mention wealth, too. Perhaps this led to you feeling inferior. But what I want to tell you is, Chenxi, this has nothing to do with having money.”
“Ha, then what has it got to do with?”
“This is because….” Gu Jingyan said, “I like Lu Beichen.”
“…” Fu Chenxi took an entire step back.
Gu Jingyan took out some funds from her pocket and placed it in front of Fu Chenxi.
“That’s right. I did something with Lu Beichen that I shouldn’t have done. I don’t know how to make it up to you. If you so wish, I only have money. So, I’ll give you these. But what I want to let you know is, I and Lu Beichen, both have money and status. We have what others don’t have. So, our being together was never about money and never about power. When we got together… it was because we got confused for a moment, because we have some affirmation towards each other. This is what I have to tell you.”
When she finished, Fu Chenxi felt it was even harder to accept.
Yes, yes, she was right…
Fu Chenxi cried again. Gu Jingyan did not prepare to say anything else, so she turned around and never returned.
If this incident were to have ended then, and that both treated it as a mistake and still hung out as good friends, then everything would have remained as beautiful as in the past.
However, when Gu Jingyan found Lu Beichen at night, he held onto her in a drunken state.
“Tell me, Jingyan, are we really bad?”
Gu Jingyan hugged the drunk Lu Beichen lightly. “Yes, very bad.”
“Haha, I’m bad, I’m very bad.”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s be bad together? It’ll save us the trouble of harming others again, right?”
Gu Jingyan looked down at him. “Are you serious?”
“Why not?” Lu Beichen looked at her. “Let’s be together.”
He held her hand.
